ITEM 2 (203-18)
PRE-DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE 00-03
APPLICANT: JOAN BUTZEN
Staff report by City Manager Bowersox. This is a request to consider a proposal to
redesign the Huntington Manor assisted living facility site at 14755 Budwin Lane and
increase the number of residents permitted to reside at the facility. A Tentative Parcel
Map (TPM 98-06) was approved in June 1998 and authorized a lot split of the 2.5 acre
property. A Tentative Parcel Map time extension was approved by Council on June 13,
2000. The applicant is presently considering the option of not pursuing the lot split, but
instead undertaking comprehensive redevelopment of the entire lot to expand and
enhance the amenities offered. Redevelopment of the site would include converting the
property from septic to City sewer and adding a private bathroom for each bedroom. The
cost are proposed to be offset by an increase in the number of residents at the facility.
Based on the Poway Municipal Code, the proposed expansion would not be allowed and
therefore, could not be considered for approval unless modified to be consistent with the
Code, or the Code amended to permit group residential uses within the Rural Residential
and Residential Single Family 1 zones, or the General Plan and zoning designation for
this site be changed to multiple family (Residential Apartment (RA) zone and Residential
Condominium (RC) zone). The applicant could modify the project to comply with existing
standards. The Nonconforming Use section of the Code permits the remodel of the
existing facility building provided that floor area is not added. The applicant could also
choose to record the approved Pamel Map as a residential care facility having six or fewer
residents is permitted by right within the RRC and could be developed on Parcel 1.
Another option would be for the applicant to apply for a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to
revise the Code to permit group residential uses within the Rural Residential and
Residential Single Family 1 zones. Lastly, the applicant could apply for a General Plan
Amendment and Zone Change to the zoning designation of the property from RRC to RA
or RC. Group residential uses are permitted within the RA and RC zones with the
approval of a Conditional Use Permit. However, in view of the surrounding lower density
residential zoning, changing the zoning of the property to a multiple family residential
designation would be considered spot zoning. Additionally, any change in intensity or
density of the site would require full citywide voter approval under Proposition FF.
Mr. Butzen, representing his wife, provided Council with the general concept of their
proposed expansion and explained that the legal path offered by staff is less than
desirable and that 50 beds are needed on the property to pay for the proposed
improvements.

General discussion ensued with Council consensus being that if there was not support
from the neighbors, it would be doubtful that a Proposition FF measure would be
supported citywide.
ITEM 2 (1601-00)
FACILITY MAINTENANCE FINANCIAL PROGRAM
Introduction by City Manager Bowersox. Currently the City manages and operates 33
public buildings and complexes covering just over 244,900 square feet of building space.
These facilities are estimated to have a replacement value of $25 million and are
maintained on a year-to-year basis that includes facility renovations, major building repairs
and improvements. City Manager Bowersox then turned the presentation over to Public
Works Director Howell who in turn introduced Pat Ryan who made a PowerPoint
presentation on the proposed Facility Maintenance Management Program. Staffsurveyed
each of the facilities including fixed assets (such as appliances and furniture), calculated
their condition, used industry standards to assign a cost of the fixed asset, and created a
replacement calendar for each facility. Staff then developed facility life-cycles (based on
actual experience) industry standards, and established a life-cycle database. The
database projects future maintenance and rehabilitation costs, including fixed asset
replacement, and provides budget information. The Program is modeled after the
successful Vehicle and Major Equipment Replacement Program. Administrative Services
Director Shafer presented the financial impact of the implementation of such a program.
At conclusion of the presentation, staff recommended Council approve the Facility
Maintenance Financial Program; direct staff to report back to the Council as part of the FY
2000/01 Midyear Budget process regarding an initial appropriation for the program and
direct staff to phase in the Facility Maintenance Financial Program in future Budgets
beginning in FY 2001-/02.
Consensus of the Council was full support of staff recommendation.
